Cons:
Sometimes the crew could come across as brass and disappear for long periods. Also, how do you ever tell the person next to you, who's bigger than you, to try not to bump you every time they move. Definitely made for a not very comfortable flight.

Good 7.6

Pros:
The comfort, crew and entertainment.

Cons:
The boarding.

SYD

Good 6.0

Pros:
The crew was on point and did there jobs well.

Cons:
The food was old fashioned and stuck in the 1960s. Having an option of Beef brisket or Salmon or two polarizing choices. I opted for the brisket and it was decent but not actually worth finishing. It was too fatty and strange tasting. Boarding in Sydney needs much improved screens and communication.

Pros:
The entrainment was a really good selection, and when the systems were faulty, they rebooted then to make sure we had our entertainment back. Thank you!
Also the food selection was very good. Having a salmon dinner was heavenly and healthy for me.

Cons:
The seats were not as comfortable as some on your other Qantas airplanes. Maybe we had outdated ones? Either way you're getting better on the design. Keep up the improvements! :)

Cons:
.........they left my suitcase in Seattle and it didn’t get on the flight to Dubai AND they didn’t want to give me a voucher for accommodation in Dubai despite a 15hr. wait for trip to South Africa. For two hours I pursued different officials in Dubai until they organized a voucher for overnight acc

Good 7.3

Pros:
The Cabin Crew is pleasant when you are boarding the plane

Cons:
If you sit towards the back of the plane, you risk not being served at all due to the short flight. If you are served, you get 10 minutes to eat before they have to pick up the trays.

Good 6.6

Pros:
The crew were nice and boarding was smooth

Cons:
the main meal was good, but it didn't come with much more. It didn't have water, dessert, or a side dish, it only came with the main meal, a piece of bread, and butter.
The chair was not that comfortable, I've had a better sleep on other airlines for the same flight.

Cons:
We boarded very late, and had no place to wait at the gate (it was locked off) and got no explanation. My headrest broke off midflight. There were no good vegetarian options on the flight, and the entertainment system was very old and hard to see.

SFO

Good 7.3

Cons:
Appreciated ability to switch to a bulkhead seat for more legroom. Bathrooms were clean at all times despite long flight. Deplaning was easy and fast enough. Overall a good experience.

Pros:
After our long and horrendous delay of the flight from Honolulu to Melbourne, we were relieved that this flight back was on time. The plane was comfortable.

Cons:
At least the offer of a free drink and snack on the 10.5 hour flight.

OOL

Excellent 9.0

Pros:
Smooth boarding and landing. Flight time is great. Not very many disruptions in the overnight flight.

Cons:
The check-in process is overly long. Being a low cost carrier doesn't mean you need to sacrifice efficiency on this part. This could be much smoother with an automated bag drop are for international flights or a check-in at the oversized X-ray machine (since so many people bring skis & surfboards.

Pros:
The crew, the entertainment, the cleanliness and the overall experience was lovely

Cons:
Lights could have gone fully off during a red eye international for sleeping.

Pros:
The crew is amazing. Always friendly, smiling and happy to oblige. Love the New Zealand hospitality. The inflight entertainment has so many programmes to watch, and the list of music options to listen in to is well stocked. Food is excellent. Obviously overate in the 9 1/2 hour flight.

You could have warned about the 2nd bag fee! I paid $80 for having a 2nd bag!

Also the food selection was very good. Having a salmon dinner was heavenly and healthy for me.

Good 6.3

Cons:
There was no organization for those of us that were moved to that flight. Shifted from 4 different lines and luggage was not sorted out after customs. Our luggage didn't make it on our flight since someone said since it said CVG, it would be fine. It wasn't.

Cons:
Keep employees have to give excellent service & smiles to passengers

Good 6.3

Pros:
Since not enough room in "What could have been better". For as long as my second flight was, from Dubai to Boston, the seats in coach were criminal!!! Way to narrow, especially if sitting next to a large person. Not nearly enough distance to seat in front of you, can't even bend over to reach some-

Cons:
thing on the floor. The seats do NOT recline enough to be able to relax & get shuteye. It would have been really nice to have a footrest of some type, even busses have those! I am a small person, 5'1'' and 110 lb. Consider not having such a huge gap between 1st class and economy. Way over crowded.

Cons:
After years of traveling with a Personal Assitive device (many times on ANZ), the pilot refused to carry the device. It is still stuck in Sydney, although they say they will deliver to our home.

Mediocre 3.6

Cons:
Had to pay for most movies. They need to bring around water more often and actually offer it to window seats rather than handing a glass to the aisle and walking off.

OK 4.4

Cons:
Do not ever forget or decide not to book a checked in bag on Air NZ when booking your ticket on line.
You have a bag to check at the airport they will not tell you it is $30 or
$40 but gouge you for $160au.
That is a total rip off and they should be embarrassed to ask for that excessive amount.

Mediocre 3.6

Pros:
Good entertainment. Flight tracker kept breaking.

Cons:
They don't come around with beverages hardly ever (twice on 13 hour flight) and they tend to skip the window seats. They tried to kick me off an overbooked flight even though I paid extra for a picked seat and booked months ago. Mediocre food. Tiny seats and I'm only 5'5". Will never fly again.

Cons:
They charge a huge amount for checked baggage. I would’ve flown another airline that included check-in baggage for free.

OK 5.6

Cons:
Ridiculous delays to our flight with no explanation. They initially advised us of a 6 hour delay then on arrival at the airport the board says there is a further 2 hours delay. So I’m stuck at the airport between 2:30am till 6:00am with a useless meal voucher from them because nothing is open. :(

OK 4.0

Mediocre 2.5

Pros:
Nothing

Cons:
Jetstar is just an airline that charges for everything. No customer service or personality. The carry-on bag rules apparently are not the same for everyone. Several people had multiple bags well exceeding 7kg. Of course the rest of us had to pay the bag fees. Just a company of crooks.

We’re not the seller

Why aren’t prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car hires can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
